How the military analyst program controlled news coverage: in the Pentagon's own words

"We develop a core group from within our media analyst list of those that we can count on to carry our water. They become the key go to guys for the networks and it begins to weed out the less reliably friendly analysts by the networks themselves."

Glenn Greenwald

Re. Powell --

quickstrategy --

RE Powell -- I've tried to cut him some slack too, but mostly out of compensation.

Thank you for doing so. It caused me to articulate that which was in the back of my mind. I do recall, as example, when Bushit, et al. sent him as Sec. of State on a mission to the Middle East -- and while he was enroute Bushit, et al. publicly cut the legs out from under him. Publicly humiliated him.

But . . . he continued after that to carry their water . . .
